Chapter 73
I don’t know what I’m thinking right now. All my previous speculations have suddenly become reality. Coupled with the infinite expectations in my heart, I’m really afraid that this is just a dream.
The green ghost lights continued to burn on the red line, lighting up the entire floor. Everyone's face was a little eerie, and Ding Ding approached step by step, and finally stopped.
There was only a red line between him and me, and it was then that I realized that Ding Ding's body was similar to mine, with wounds all over. There were large patches of bright red on the white T-shirt he was wearing, some of which were very fresh, and some had dried up and turned dark black.
Xie Ning also saw his face clearly, and suddenly snorted coldly, saying, "You are still alive!"
Ding Ding smiled, stared at her with eyes wide open, and said, "This young man is very lucky!"
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. As he spoke, he looked at me and said, "Tan Xi, come here!"
I was a little worried, so I nodded quickly and gestured to the little ghosts, asking them to follow me to Ding Ding.
But when I lowered my head and walked around the burning red line, and the little ghost and the hanged ghost followed, the originally lukewarm blue flame suddenly seemed to boil. With a whoosh, the flame immediately shot up high, like a wall, blocking the little ghost and the hanged ghost out.
I didn't react at first, but I saw Ding Ding pulling the source of the red lines in his hand hard, and the red lines immediately gathered together.
Not only the little ghosts, but also Xie Ning and the old woman who sprayed water were the same. The will-o'-the-wisp suddenly danced wildly, and I felt like I had fallen into a myth movie, and was stunned by the scene in front of me.
But as the red line was retracted, the little ghost screamed, and even the hanged ghost was panicked. I looked towards them and found that the will-o'-the-wisps seemed to have spirits, dancing and leaping, as if they were about to wrap around their bodies.
The little ghost was so scared that he quickly stepped back, looked at me in horror, and asked Tan Xi, what happened?
I was completely confused myself and kept asking Ding Ding anxiously, but he didn't pay any attention to me. He just waved and pulled the red line in his hand towards Xie Ning and the old woman who was spraying water.
Xie Ning looked a little anxious. She raised her tongue high behind her head and probed it out, as if she wanted to let it pass through the flames in front of her and then stab at Ding Ding and me. However, every time her tongue touched the will-o'-the-wisp fire, it made a "black" sound, emitted a burst of black smoke, and quickly shrank.
Xie Ning's face was full of fury and she seemed to be in pain, but fortunately she didn't dare to keep trying. She just looked helpless, watching the red lines around her getting tighter and tighter.
I was so happy when I saw them being defeated , but I didn't have the heart to look at Xie Ning's miserable state. I only cared about the little ghost and the hanged ghost. Compared with Xie Ning, their expressions were more terrified. Moreover, no matter how hard they tried to extinguish the flames, it seemed to be useless. I saw them screaming in pain, but I had no way to do anything.
In the end, he could only grab Ding Ding and told him to at least distinguish between friends and enemies, and not to involve his own people.
Ding Ding frowned and yelled at me, saying, "Can't you think of a solution yourself? Can't you see I'm busy?"
When I heard this, I was speechless, but considering that Ding Ding is now dealing with Xie Ning and the others, he probably can't be distracted. I can't just stand there like this. I looked at the current situation and thought for a while. I felt that these will-o'-the-wisp fires should only be useful to ghosts, because when I came over, I didn't feel any burning temperature, but more of a coolness in this empty floor.
But I didn't dare to touch that thing directly. I could only comfort the two little ghosts and ask them to wait for me. Then I looked along the source of the red lines around me, trying to find the supporting arrows.
It wasn't that difficult, I just had to follow the firelight. But there were too many red lines around me, so it was very difficult for me to move. I either had to jump over them or lie down and run from below.
I feel like a clown now, but fortunately everyone is busy with their own things and no one cares about me.
I finally climbed to the side of the wall, looked up at the arrow on it, and breathed a sigh of relief. I reached out and grabbed the arrow in my hand. As soon as I exerted force, I heard Ding Ding yelling, "Tan Xi, what are you doing! Don't ruin my formation!"
But he said this too late, it was obviously too late. I moved my hand and pulled the arrow out. The next second, I heard a bang, and the flames that were dancing wildly around me twisted and suddenly went out.
Ding Ding got anxious and started scolding me.
I stood there in a daze, completely dumbfounded, but I kept feeling that I was very innocent. After Ding Ding scolded me like that, I got anxious and said, "Didn't you tell me to figure it out myself?"
Ding Ding was still very angry. If the situation wasn't critical, he would probably rush up to fight with me right away.
Xie Ning was suddenly free from his restraint and burst into laughter. He glanced at the old lady who was spraying water and said, "Look, this is my pig-like teammate!"
Ding Ding spat and shouted at me, saying, "Run away!"
But Xie Ning Xie Ning didn't give me the chance at all. It swung its long tongue and rolled up the ghost car and smashed towards us!
I was shocked. I thought I would be hurt if I was hit by this. I didn't have time to think about anything and immediately lay on the ground. As soon as my body touched the ground, the ghost car flew over my head. I only heard a loud bang. If it was a real car, it would probably be scrapped on the spot.
But the ghost car was not ordinary after all. I only heard it groan, hit the wall beside it, and suddenly stopped. Xiao Guili hurriedly ran towards it with a worried look on his face.
I also hurriedly got up from the ground. If the ghost car was okay, then we would run now. We should be able to escape from Xie Ning and the water-spraying old woman.
But as soon as I stood up, I felt something entangled under my feet, dragging me backwards, and I immediately fell flat on my face! I almost fainted when I hit the ground. I turned around and found that I was entangled by Xie Ning's tongue. She had a cold smile on her face and was about to drag me towards her!
I shouted Ding Ding's name over and over again, but Ding Ding was entangled by the old woman who was spraying water and couldn't get away. Fortunately, the hanged man came to his senses, swung the rope in his hand, and immediately tied it around my neck.
I thought to myself, well done, it's worth it for me to save you! But as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I suddenly felt something was wrong!
Xie Ning pulled so hard, but the hanged ghost refused to let go. The two of them seemed to be fighting for food, or playing tug-of-war. He dragged me in the air and pulled me straight. What's even more infuriating is that when the hanged ghost pulled so hard, the rope tied around my neck almost strangled me to death!
I was so angry that my face burned. I couldn't speak. I cursed in my heart. They were really asking for death! They might as well not help me!
But I couldn't say anything for a moment, so I could only let Xie Ning and the hanged ghost fight!
I felt like I was about to suffocate, and even the scene in front of me was a little blurry. I could only see the little ghost running into the ghost car, and I didn't know what he was doing. Ding Ding seemed to be afraid of the old woman who sprayed water. After the bullshit formation was destroyed by me, he almost had no strength to fight back, and could only dodge the water sprayed from her mouth. He almost got hit several times.
I really don't feel any fear at all now, maybe I've gotten used to these things. For a second, I even thought that being torn to death by two ghosts was better than Tintin being spit on by an old woman. But I'm not sure whether Tintin is a human or a ghost now, I can only hope that he will become more powerful after not seeing him for a long time, and that he should be more powerful as a ghost than when he was alive.
My body was getting more and more painful, and for a moment, I even felt like I was being torn apart by them. But strangely, Xie Ning and the hanged ghost were pulling hard, and I suddenly felt two forces on my body, and I fell from the air, landing on my face, and blood immediately flowed out of my mouth and nose.
I quickly wiped the blood off my face and was wondering what was going on when I noticed that Tintin and the old woman had also stopped. Everyone's eyes were looking towards the end of the floor, as if something strange had appeared there.
I didn't care what they were thinking about and pretended to get up from the ground. Just as I was about to run, I heard a woman's voice shouting at me.
My steps paused and I looked in the direction of the sound, and found that Lu Yao had also come. There was no expression on her face. She didn't even look at the people around her. She walked straight towards me, grabbed my hand, and asked me, "Are you okay?"
I nodded and said it was okay.
But as soon as I finished speaking, I heard the little ghost shouting in the ghost car, "Tan Xi, don't get close to her!"
But when Lu Yao looked back at him, his voice suddenly stopped, as if it had been cut off by a knife.
I was stunned, then I remembered that Xiao Gui had just told me that Lu Yao and Xie Ning were in the same group, but I kept thinking about her previous appearance and didn't react immediately.
Thinking of this, I quickly pulled my hand out of Lu Yao's hand, staggered back a step, and asked her, why are you here?
Lu Yao glanced at me, and the expression on her face was like a stone sculpture, as if no matter what happened, it could not resonate with her.
She didn't answer me, but turned around, her eyes slowly swept over Guiche and Ding Ding's group, suddenly opened her mouth and said coldly, "Except Tan Xi, kill everyone else!"
